Oklahoma's Promise Core Curriculum

Students will not be allowed to make changes to their schedules after the enrollment process has been completed. Decisions regarding school staffing and the master schedule are made based on the course requests entered during the enrollment process. When completing their enrollment card, students should not only select their primary course choices but also four (4) semesters of alternate courses. If a student's primary course is not available, they will be placed in an alternate course. If a student does not select alternate cours-es, they will be selected for them. In the event that primary and alternate courses are not available, the school counselor will contact the student and allow them to select another course.

Schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons:

• Scheduling error / placed in wrong course

• Adding a course required for graduation

• Accepted in a Tulsa Technology, Service Learning or Athletic program

• Adding concurrent enrollment class(es)

Advanced Placement Classes The following document will be issued to each student who enrolls in a Pre-AP or AP course. When selecting your AP courses, we encourage you to discuss the time requirement and academic challeng-es with your parents prior to finalizing your enrollment. With this knowledge, you are making a commit-ment to fulfill the expectations of the course.

Dear Student and Parent:

The Advanced Placement Program, including the Pre-Advanced Placement Program, sponsored by the College Board is offered on all middle school and high school campuses to students in 6th through 12th grade. In this exciting college preparatory program, students enroll in Pre- AP at the early level, graduating to AP courses in grades 10, 11, 12. Curriculum is integrated from grade to grade culminating in an opportunity to receive college credit after successfully completing an exam at the end of the Advanced Placement course in grades 10, 11, 12.

Because the AP program is designed to prepare students for college level work, the classes proceed at a faster pace. Knowledge and skills needed are more complex and at a higher level of difficulty than those commonly required in regular classes. Homework is frequent and demanding; most assigned reading and writing is done outside of class, which may include weekends and holidays. At teacher's discretion summer reading may be required in some courses. We encourage you to review all course requirements listed in the Course Guide before enrolling in the AP program.

Successful Pre-AP and AP students are typically task oriented, proficient readers who are able to set priori-ties with regard to time and responsibilities. Parental support also plays a key role in the success of these students. Any student who is willing to commit the time and effort necessary to meet the rigorous requirements of this course will be welcome to enroll.

Your student has indicated that he/she wishes to enroll in the following Pre AP/AP courses for the school year:

1. _____________________________ 4. _________________________________

2. ____________________________ 5. _________________________________

3. _____________________________ 6. _________________________________

You and your student will need to sign this form in order to enroll in these classes. Once this form has been signed and returned with your enrollment card, you will be enrolled in these classes. NO requests for dropping Pre-AP or AP will be considered until one semester has been completed in the course.
